Some highlight from a Mekong Delta boat ride

As the world turned yesterday, the Tower had a few learning experiences in this game called Life. First of all, always ask the motorbike driver how much you are going to pay for lunch, and a "private" boat ride. Goodness freakin' gracious. I should have taken a hotel tour instead. I thought I would be nice and give this guy a little income and I paid five or six times than a person should have paid for the whole tour itself. I was highly upset with myself and the motorbike driver for not really explaining anything before hand. 

I did enjoy my little bit of a ride though. I was a little rushed, since the Mr. Don, the driver wanted to start a little later than I did. Anyway, you live, you learn. The lunch was very delicious, the ride on the river was peaceful, and the 160k worth of motorbike riding was tiring.
